Call for Submissions for Midwest Asian Americans
Posted on October 11, 2018 by The Godfather of Asian American Theatre


The Asian Pacific American (APA) population is seriously under represented on stage. “Our Perspective: Asian American Play Readings” is a staged play reading series intended to provide inspiration, space, and audiences for Midwest APA playwrights, directors, and actors. These are script-in-hand concert readings where actors read plays written and directed by Asian Americans. Presented by Asian Improv Arts Midwest’s AA Arts Incubator, “Our Perspective” is the first ever Asian American play reading series in the Midwest. These history making events are long overdue. Co-produced by Mia Park and Tanuja Jagernauth. Our-Perspective.com

We are accepting play submissions of plays written by Asian American playwrights in the Midwest for the 2019 Our Perspective: Asian American Play Reading series. Completed plays of all lengths that are ready to be read or produced are preferred. Our Perspective is not intended to be a workshop series.
